Journalism has a crucial role to play in shaping the conversation around climate change and the transition to net zero. So how journalists can provide accurate, impactful coverage of these issues, as well as the challenges they face in doing so?

At the recent Net Zero Festival 2023, BusinessGreen's editor in chief James Murray sat down with Leo Hickman, editor and director of award winning website Carbon Brief, to discuss the power of journalism to drive meaningful change, from uncovering the latest climate science to highlighting the human stories behind the headlines.
